Circle is moving their $138Million away from bitcoin development because Maxwell is a fucking dick. This is a fact. Say what you like about SegWit and LN, and 8MB blocks, but facts remain facts.
When was Circle ever going to put their $138M in bitcoin development? This is a complete twist of logic, they were not putting anything in bitcoin development.
With 4MB blocks last year, bitcoin price would probably be at $3000 now. Not only that, but loads of talent would be getting a check to build bitcoin related infrastructure (like wallets, etc). All that work is NOT being done.
This is complete bullshit. The price is not being held back because of the block size or delayed confirmation times. Bitcoin has been seeing a steady and healthy bull run for the last year and a half despite this debate. There was clowns last year who claimed bitcoin couldn't reach a price of $500 because the network couldn't support it. Absolutely bullshit. BTC price will appreciate because bitcoin currently has great value and use as gold 2.0 even if it's not ready for daily shopping transactions yet. To say that Core is the reason that "loads of talent" aren't working on bitcoin is also complete bullshit.
Armory is out of business. Tresor is fucked. AirBitz is abandoning their wallet. The whole god-damned thing stopped - about the time Hearn left. Maxwell and his love of proprietary off chain scaling has fucked this network. Facts are facts. No bullshit lines from Holliday are going to change that.
Like I said, sell your coins and move on. If you are so convinced of your 'facts' then do us all a favor and move on instead of spreading baseless FUD
